I finished the first two Uncharted games but wasn't a huge fan. Drake being an annoying douche really didn't do the game any favours!

Metal Gear Solid 4, Valkyria Chronicles, and the Yakuza games are the main reasons I love my ps3.

He is kind of a douche. I feel like he is something different and refreshing for a hero character, which is nice. Definitely not as much of a douche as Flynn. Fuck that guy.

I would say that MGS4 is my favorite thing about PS3...and I still love the game...but Metal Gear Online was taken down. That was one of the only online games that I actually had a fun time on. But it looks like MGS5 will have online, so that's good news!

If anyone is interested, I came upon a pretty awesome YouTube channel recommended to me by the folks over at Geekvolution. It's called The Gaming Wildlife Foundation. It's a spoofy look at the different "species" of people that play video games. It's pretty amusing. Geekvolution is a comic book enthusiast channel if anyone for some reason was wondering about that. Check it owt, y'all.

If you didn't really like the demo of the first one, I'd probably pick it up cheap later on down the road. The gameplay itself is about as basic as you'll ever find, so if that bugs you a lot you may want to wait as well. It's more of an atmosphere/story type of game, with of course the basic gameplay elements of a FPS (shoot dudes, ammo, "special powers", etc). Nothing terribly mind-bending, but after the 5 or so hours I've put into it I've really enjoyed it. Though I really enjoyed the first Bioshock as well.

It's like I said, Bioshock's not a game I'd give great marks if I had just the gameplay to go on. It just brings to the table stuff that I appreciate in games, which is something I haven't seen much of in years.

So I finally got to play a few hours of Infinite today, after working 4 back to backs in a row. Stupid two jobs. -_- But I'm absolutely having a blast. I'm kind of regretting starting on hard though, the turrets are so unforgiving.

One of my favorite games of this generation, would've been better if the locales were a bit more diverse and the gameplay got much harder. I'm running around areas with beautiful windmills and floating balloons, but I'm always wall-running on the same stone walls and ceiling-climbing on the same wooden ceilings.

I like the gameplay in Bioshock.

Chris, the gameplay in Infinite is a bit different from the original Bioshock, but I honestly have no way of telling if you'd like it or not. The gunplay is more simplified, and it can get really fast-paced once you're able to use the sky-hook, which I find to be really fun.

But yeah, the gameplay is certainly not the biggest draw for Bioshock games. Most of it has to do with atmosphere, discovery, and the story.

I just saw the movie Spring Breakers. There is a lot of style-over-substance, so if you are willing to not over criticize the movie for its dumb decisions and lack of plot, then you'll have a good time.

I prefer somewhere out of the way. I hate cities and I hate over-population. I love where I am. I can go places away from people. Out in the woods with a campfire on a river bank, lightning bugs, crickets chirping, cooking some catfish I just cleaned, far away from people and city lights, where you can see the stars like you were among them.

"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace. To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue. To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside. If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator." -- Aldo Leopold, Sand County Almanac

Where are you from, exactly?

See, I would prefer that life style... in fact after watching The Hobbit 2 times in a row today, I was drawn to the land scapes and the majestic scenary, wishing i can live there. Away from people and closer to nature can be an amazing experience.

Darkhava, you hear QotSA new song "The Sun is My God"? It's live from Brazil at the event down there. I thought he was blowing up the band a whole lot more, but it looks like just the drummer left. You can tell Dave does the drumming, but the man in that video is not Dave

I was thinking about my vacation of just getting away from people. Like out in the woods somewhere, no electronic devices, and just me for a week or something. It sounds so good in my head right now. Especially since I'm working Easter weekend and have put in more hours this weekend than normal people put in for five days Boss told me Thursday "We aren't that busy. Weekend won't be anything".

Yeah, I heard it last night. I think it sounds absolutely amazing. To be honest, I'm not sure WHO wrote the drum parts for that track. They revealed in a press release like a week ago that they'd have Jon Theodore (the guy drumming at Lollapalooza) working on some tracks as well. He's the drummer from Mars Volta. Really solid dude.

@madskillzO25, it's actually only like a 5 minute walk. My area has become much more urbanized in the last 10 years or so. The city is leaking. I don't really mind though. Like I said, it's pretty damn boring around here.

I'm somewhat in between here. I live in an area like this (always have, really), but the shitty town and bad employment make it not worth it for me personally. If I could combine this with a cool, unique town and a decent job then I wouldn't want to live in the city either.

But as it stands I intend of leaving for a city as soon as I can, at least to get some education. All my friends are leaving and I find myself doing nothing but working part time and blowing the rest of my time on games or the internet. Most of my hobbies cost money, money that I don't get from my work. I do intend on asking for more hours tomorrow though...

Yooooo Crusher. Haven't seen you in a while. I think. IGN seems to be getting more and more crowded in the past few days.

Busy week is going on right now. I had an exam today, have another exam tomorrow, have a court date on wednesday for a public intox ticket, and I have to make a powerpoint presentation...a group presentation.

Guess I can't complain too much. There are many more people out there that are much busier than me.

I've been busy with classes and all along with looking for a job. Too many projects to take care of and I got embarrassed the hell out of at Golden Corral yesterday. Wasn't a pretty sight.

I accidentally walked into the middle of two Deaf people having a conversation by accident while giving friend an ice cream. Then one of my friends got pissed and just started explaining something from class that made nearly everyone look at me and I ended up feeling embarrassed. I talked to her yesterday about the situation and she understood where I was coming from and apologized. Something that she mentioned was most likely a culture conflict as both hearing and Deaf cultures are different when having conversation.
